Pros

None that I could think off.

Cons

Gartner is known to be a company who is into a business of telling other companies how to do their business better. Ironically they themselves have no clue on how to run their own company. Starting from their infrastructure to IT tools to overall structure. It is a sheer mess, In the name being focussed on providing best IT advise, the tools used by the company are legacy. They are still using manual excel dashboards without having visibility on what is available in the market that is making strides in the current time. For performance management. There is hardly any focus on cross-training employees who can gain better skills to be relevant in the market and also that can be used within the company. There is hardly any knowledge-share between different departments. Neither any efforts are made by the operations/HR teams in that area. HR does not support operations. Incompetent people hired in HR department who would discriminate between gender. Pathetic work culture. People will just join for the namesake that it is able to develop for itself in the last decade. For the Gurgaon center: The population hired is majorly Millenials who just lack the maturity, full of negative attitude and will end up having issues with you right from day one. They will walk to HR for petty issues and does not hesitate escalating things to the topmost management and will go to the extent of getting you fired. HR will support them on almost everything as half of your time will end up fighting with HR on policies that are purely supporting the employees with a negative attitude. Every millenial hired in Gurgaon center carries the attitude of joining the company today and becoming the CEO tomorrow. People hired recently lack basic skills like positive and can-do attitude but are rather looking for easy money as no one will take actions on non-performance. Again, there are no structure to measure performance here. Sadly, it is no longer the company it used to be. I would suggest looking for a company that takes your career ahead rather than being with a company that takes away the skills you earned.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
